Seems that Sevilla will be one of teams that I will skip when making bets. They looked so bad against Valencia in opening round, but now they played solid game against City in UEFA Super Cup. Yesh, they lost after penalties, but it don't change fact that they played well. You simply don't know what to expect from them.
In 2nd round there is not many games which sounds very exciting, probably Betis - Atletico is the most interesting one.

I haven't yet but I am hoping. It will be wired though if all these favorites win their own matches. From my gambling experience I know from these 6 selections at leas one will fail means at least one favorite will lose LOL

Oh yes, my bad, didn't paid attention to games that you made bet, just looked at odds. One of huge favorites losing their games - this is what usually happens with parlays . Well, maybe not this time.

Yes Sevilla its a bi-polar team, they are one thing on Europe competitions and other real diferent on the domestic league, its something that nobody cant understand how they made this year after year.

And yes its a must avoid in the 90% of the scenarios.

Yes, the eternal Sevilla cycle


Sometimes I wonder how they get to Europe competitions at all considering their average performance in La Liga

This piece of information is helpful to me LOL

Honestly, I have no idea about these leagues [Serie A, La Liga etc] and the teams except I know the names of one or two big teams from the league [thanks to Champions league]. Before making my picks I actually check head to head performance, recent history [last 12 years] and some other statistics then I decide to take a side for a team or pick a draw. Although I rarely like to settle for a draw which is where I basically lose a lot of points.

For me these pools are fun. The entertainment is higher when I have a good position in the pool. For the first few rounds I think it's hard for me to do my study.

That's exactly how I'm doing my research when submitting my picks. I don't go that long i to history of h2h games. Of course it's more fun when you are posituoned higher in the pool. Maybe it will be to decide on the picks easier when few rounds go by.

[Renato297]

I have sent my picks, I hope it goes well this time

[slaman29]

I dont really know what to think and what to say, both of them, because Simeone teams in the past seems to be very solid and finding again his way and ended up being not so solid and not so offensive (im talking about last 3/4 years).

But yes it seems like now they maintain a very good base, and with a little reinforcement they can be a real contender this year, for both national and champions league tournament.

It has to do with the drain his style has on mentality, you need tough players with total buy in, but their main problem is keeping the intensity for whole season. It's very tiring style, and in top leagues, even not recommended. I only think he has a chance this season because Real + Barca are weak.

BTW Bouno just left Sevilla. The movement from Europe to Middle East is really picking up, what a weird transfer year it has been so far.

Today I read that Sevilla might be interesting in signing Dinamo Zagreb's goalie Livaković. There are speculations that he will leave the club before the end of this transfer deadline, but Dinamo wanted to keep him for as long as they can so he can help them qualify for the UCL. It could be a good replacement for Buono.

Entry fee on me in Serie A pool.
Instead of making a repeating post let me just quote it from other thread.

Just an informal information. Anyone interested to join Serie A on me? Check it and comment there I will pay the entry fee.

Trofo, please ignore this off-topic LOL

Villareal is up against Mallorca, it is only a question will they made it till the end

but for me, Valencia is more interesting, I expect to see VCF in full swing tonight against Las Palmas, odds have value @1.65, thinking to bold it with handicap, -1, and -2, we were above average against Sevilla, but home opener can propel as to the top, at least tonight, and that chance should not be missed
go bats

I went with a draw on Villareal vs. Mallorca. I know it's a tough choice but maybe Mallorca can equalize and give me 1.5 points. As for Valencia, I expected an easy win for them. I just hope that I get more points in this round than in the first round.

[Omikifuse]

Bruh I oopsied again and I forgot to update the superbru prediction before the Villareal game, I usually put any score so I won't use a default pick few days before the game and do the actual analysis in the day or in the day prior, except this time I forgot to actually put it in the pool. I need to at least triple check everything from now on.

Also I noticed the leaderboard shows me with 1.5 points while I made 6 points last round, hopefully it will be corrected soon enough.

Two games today and two games with only one goal in both. I start to thinka gain Villarreal its not gonna be a good team for me this season.

Valencia start its gonna be one of his best in the last years i think, and yes i know its only two games, but still a good start. What do you think Casper?, our Valencia fan.

[slaman29]

I hate Valencia and Villareal. KTChampions got 6 points now, how is that even possible lol

No idea about the guy but didn't his team already lose to AEK in our BSFL competition? Let in two goals and Sevilla want him lol. But no I'm just kidding, Bouno was good and he did his best so he can retire in peace with Benzema and everyone else in Arabia

I actually included them on my ticket yesterday and it passed, that is something almost impossible in my personal relationship with Valencia. Still wouldn't give them opportunity to screw me but there was a severe lack of good pairs yesterday and it worked out fine. Now they are on probation, and maybe I will even remove them from blacklist.

Yeah, they did. But nove of the goals were his fault. Actually he saved few great shots which would leave Dinamo without chances in the second game today. Besides, he is the first goalkeeper in the Croatian national team which won the bronze medal in Qatar and silver medal in Russia. That's why I think he will be a great replacement for Buono in Sevilla.

interesting match in Almeria, home squad is prettyy offensive so far, and having Maximiano on goal really helps their cause
looking at him, and it is really hard to imagine that he spent whole season in Lazio benched - edit: eating my words

Sociedad bottling one more home match, unbelievable, didn't look into the pool, but congrats to all that picked draw in that one, after first round home draw for Sociedad

[Saint-loup]

Correct scores is definitely mainly luck, like when Onana didn't given penalty, 1-1 was the smart choice but 1-0 was the lucky win. I bet on ML also mainly so correct scores is not important but I do feel pools trick is to know when to go for draws.

Saint-loup took a lot last season, I don't remember if he did others?

I think I've subscribed to all pools last year, except the cricket one. And it has been too much time consuming for me to be honest, so this year I've decided to participate to less pools and to dedicate less time to that. I also mainly bet on ML when I bet, because the hedge is usually bigger on secondary bet options. Sportbooks can hardly display shitty odds on their main pages if they want to attract and to keep customers, so they usually try to be competitive on this kind of bets.

I was following the score of the Celta - Sociedad game and I was pretty happy to see Sociedad winning. I couldn't believe when they conceded a goal few minutes before the end. They cost me 1.5 points for that.

And Almeria -Real Madrid is one more exact score guess for me. It looks like there are not that many upsets in this round.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Barcelona today and Arsenal tomorrow. If I get these two correct then I will finally have some win with the free bets LOL

IPL pool is very short and it's much harder there to pick if you don't know about the leagues, which I don't really, so I only took part once. Even betting on cricket I don't do so much, just here and there for IPL.

It's definitely time commitment if you want to do well, I agree. Anyone can put picks in but as you can see from people like me I do badly in most pools because I don't really follow.

Then again, luck factor like F1 I don't really know what I'm doing but so far so good lol

Same as La Liga. I know this league best but my performance? Terrible

[Trofo]

I will have to stop being pool captain, my results are suffering something awful. I am firmly at the bottom of bot my pools while I am doing OKish in Bundesliga and keeping very good 4th position in Premier League. Hell I am even doing better in F1 pool and I have never in my life watched a race. No other explanation than failure to perform in my own pools

At least I got Barca correct score right so maybe there are bettre days to come in the future.

[Woodie]

Spanish league proving to be a stubborn league to predict...but from my observation 2-0, 1-1, 1-0 seem to be the most common scoreline around here, and with this insight I will be calibrating  my correct score predictions to the said numbers.

Btw, noticed that if you can get 3 correct scores and some result points you are guaranteed of a yellowcap...but unfortunately not as easy as it sounds
